选用华北地震遥测台网和首都圈数字化地震遥测台网1993～2005年记录的2866个地震事件中的33487条P波和31822条S波的到时资料,计算得到了水平分辨率25km到50km之间的首都圈地区（385°N～41°N, 114°E～120°E）地壳三维P波和S波速度结构,并进一步获得泊松比分布.研究表明,首都圈地区P波和S波速度分布表现出强烈的横向不均匀性,浅层速度分布同地表地质结构分布相一致.分析得出震区强震多发生在低速体与高速体之间、低泊松比地区,且震源下部存在低速、高泊松比异常体.经过与其他地区研究结果相比较,对地震触发与流体的关系进行了探讨.流体在地震孕育及触发的过程中可能起着重要作用.     

芦山震区地壳三维P波速度精细结构及地震重定位研究

联合芦山地震序列5285个地震的50711条P波初至绝对到时数据及7294691条高质量的相对到时数据,利用双差地震层析成像方法联合反演了芦山震源区高分辨率的三维P波速度精细结构及5115个地震震源参数.反演结果表明,芦山主震震中为30.28°N,103.98°E,震源深度为16.38km,主震南西段余震扩展长度约23km,余震前缘倾角较和缓,主震北东段余震扩展长度约12km,余震前缘呈铲形,倾角较陡.芦山震源区P波三维速度结构表现出明显的横向不均匀性,近地表处的P波速度异常与地形起伏及地质构造密切相关:宝兴杂岩对应明显的高速异常,此异常由地表延伸到地下15km深度附近,而中新生代岩石表现为低速异常;大兴附近区域亦显示出小范围的大幅度高速异常,宝兴高速异常与大兴高速异常在10km深度附近相连,进而增加了芦山震源区的高低速异常对比幅度.在芦山主震的南西、北东两段速度结构存在着较大差异,芦山主震在水平向位于宝兴及大兴高速异常所包围的低速异常的前缘.主震南西段余震主要发生在倾向北西的高低速异常转换带上并靠近低速一侧,其下盘为低速异常,上盘为高速异常.而芦山主震北东段的余震主要分布在宝兴高速体与大兴高速体之间,主发震层向北西倾斜,主发震层上方的宝兴高速异常下边界出现一条南东倾向的反冲地震带,两地震带呈"y"型分布.     

昭通地区地震层析成像及彝良震区构造分析

本文结合1992年01月至2012年10月国家地震台网、四川地震台网、云南地震台网及重庆地震台网的65个台站记录到的2,107个地震的17,945条P波绝对到时数据及227,701条P波相对到时数据,利用双差地震层析成像方法联合反演了昭通地区地震震源参数及地壳三维速度结构.反演结果表明,地震重定位精度有了显著改进,地震在水平方向的重定位精度要高于垂直方向.在深度方向,消除了重定位前地震在5~10km间的层状分布假象,昭通地区震源深度总体大于彝良地区,且彝良地区地震随深度增加向西展布,根据余震分布特征推测地震发生在走向NNE,倾向NW的石门断裂上.反演得到的三维速度结构表明,地表速度异常与地形起伏及地质特征有着密切关系:在浅层,昭通坳陷盆地表现为较大范围的低速异常,且低速异常区在盆地东北缘范围加深.彝良附近表现为高速异常带,大关附近表现为低速异常.随着深度的增加,反演得到的P波三维速度结构清晰地显示出彝良地区中下地壳介质受到北东向挤压而向上隆起,与浅部的高、低速异常区相互交错,形成介质速度构造复杂区域.重定位后的彝良ML5.7级和ML5.6级地震的震源位于隆起的高速异常区两侧的速度过渡区,其走滑兼逆冲的破裂机制与该处反演结果揭示的彝良地区下方的速度异常形成机制较为一致.     

基于密集台阵的青藏高原东北缘地壳精细结构及九寨沟地震震源区结构特征分析

基于青藏高原东北缘密集宽频带野外流动观测台阵以及固定台站资料,利用双差层析成像方法对地震位置和研究区的地壳速度结构进行了反演.最终用于联合反演的地震事件合计9644个.结果显示青藏高原东北缘速度结构具有明显的横向不均匀性.从整体上看,青藏高原地区表现为低速异常,鄂尔多斯表现为高速异常,而扬子地块亦表现为高速异常.不同深度处速度结构表现不一致,同一深度处P波速度结构和S波速度结构也有明显差异.由西秦岭北缘断裂带、临潭-宕昌断裂以及礼县-罗家堡断裂围限的地震活动强烈的区域中,P波速度结构由深度0 km时呈现的低速异常,逐渐过渡到5 km时高低速相间分布的特征;而S波速度结构在此区域中,由近地表0 km时高低速相间分布的特征,逐渐过渡到30 km时几乎表现为低速异常.2017年8月8日九寨沟7级地震所在的塔藏断裂、岷江断裂和雪山断裂围限区域,在深度20 km处的P波速度结构和周围存在明显差异,九寨沟地震处于高速异常与低速异常的过渡带内.此外,2013年7月22日发生在青藏高原东北缘的岷漳县6.6级地震,震源区所在的临潭-宕昌断裂附近的P波速度结构在15 km深度处也有明显特征,震源位置所在区域也处于高低速过渡带.该区域这种地壳内部高低速过渡带可能是应力比较容易积累而发生中强地震的一个重要场所.     

京津唐地区中小地震重新定位

利用华北遥测台网和首都圈数字地震台网112个台站记录到的1993—2004年发生在首都圈地区3983次地震的P波绝对到时资料和相对到时资料,采用双差地震层析成像方法联合反演首都圈地区的地震震源参数,给出了2809次地震的重新定位结果.经地震重新定位后,P波绝对走时均方根残差由初始的1.2s降为0.3s,定位精度有了非常显著的提高.重新定位后的地震震中更集中分布在断层带地区,条带状更为清晰.在唐山地区的唐山—大城断裂带,地震主要集中在断裂带内,两侧的地震比较稀少.从重新定位后的震中分布可以看出,研究区域内的地震活动带呈现更明显的北北东向和北西西向的条带状分布,说明这两组方向的断裂最为活跃.用双差地震层析成像方法得到的唐山地区的地震震源位置,沿北东方向剖面在深度上呈现明显的3个小震群的特点,震源最大深度为25km.唐山地区地震重新定位结果的对比性研究表明,双差层析成像方法得到的震源参数的精度高于常规地震层析成像方法和双差法.     

2017年米林6.9级地震震源区速度结构与余震重定位

利用西藏自治区林芝地区的固定地震台站与南迦巴瓦流动测震台站在2017年11月18日至2017年11月24日记录到的430个余震的直达波走时数据反演得到了震源区的三维P波速度、S波速度结构,并利用三维速度结构对余震进行了重定位.成像结果显示,米林地震震源区在0~5km深度内存在低地震波速度异常;在5~15km深度内,存在高地震波速度异常,该高速异常致使震源区西南侧的地震波速度高于东北侧.重定位结果中,余震呈条带状以NW-SE走向展布,震源深度具有西南方向深、东北方向浅的特征.主震位于11km深度处、高地震波速异常体顶部,余震主要分布在高地震波速度与低地震波速度过渡的区域.对成像结果的分析表明,震源区浅部的低速异常具有低泊松比的特性,与富石英的沉积变质杂岩体-东久杂岩单元的岩性特征有关;深部的速度结构特征则可能反映了发震断层上盘地震波速度高,下盘地震波速度低的介质特性.余震重定位结果与成像结果联合表明:此次地震发震断层从11km深度处,东久杂岩体下方的高地震波速度异常顶部开始破裂,继而在5~15km深度内发生后续破裂,后续破裂的发生区域正处于喜马拉雅构造单元与冈底斯构造单元接触的形变区内.此外,根据地震波速度计算的泊松比反映了震源区持续的低泊松比特征,暗示此次地震与流体活动并无直接关系.     

河北省南部及邻区地壳P波速度结构三维反演

1980—2012年河北省及邻区测震台网地震记录,使用了河北省南部及邻区（34.0°—38.0°N,112.0°—118.0°E）63个固定地震台站和4 540个地震事件,得到27 709条P波到时数据,采用速度结构与地震位置联合反演的方法,获得研究区内地壳P波三维速度结构,重新确定中小地震震源位置。速度结构揭示：研究区域内地壳的P波速度结构存在明显的横向不均匀性,在10—25 km深度上横向不均匀性更加显著;大地震基本发生在速度异常体或高低速交界区域。地震重新定位结果显示：地震P波走时均方根残差（RMS）从1.68 s降到0.82 s;地震呈明显条带状分布,震源深度与地质构造年代具有一定负相关性。     

门源地区地壳三维体波速度结构及地震重定位研究

本文使用甘肃、青海数字地震台网及中国地震科学探测台阵记录到的门源地区地震的P波和S波到时资料,应用双差层析成像方法联合反演了该地区的地壳三维速度结构和震源位置参数.结合地质构造背景,研究了门源M_S6.4地震孕育发生的深部介质环境及该地区速度结构与地震活动性之间的关系.结果表明：反演之后地震的走时残差均方根显著降低,重定位后的地震在垂直方向上呈现出与断层位置有关的条带状分布.门源地区地壳速度结构存在明显的不均匀性,浅层P波和S波速度结构与地表地质构造及地形特征密切相关.研究区内地震活动性与地壳速度结构具有很强的对应关系,地震主要分布在高速异常区域及其边缘.门源M_S6.4地震震中附近的P波和S波速度结构表现出明显的高速异常,且在震源区下方存在P波低速层,这种特殊的构造条件可能是导致此次地震发生的重要原因.     

1927年古浪8级大震及其周边地区三维地壳P波速度结构特征

本文联合利用甘肃及周边测震台网记录的古浪及周边地区4592次地震的P波绝对到时资料和相对到时资料,采用双差地震层析成像方法反演了古浪震源区高分辨率的三维P波速度精细结构.结果显示,浅部P波速度分布与地表地质之间具有很好的对应关系.皇城—双塔断裂带在6 km以上深度表现为高速异常带,而在6~15 km逐渐转换为明显的低速特征,之后再次转换为高速体.震区下部在10~20 km深度有一个尺度约200 km²的低速异常体,地震发生时破裂首先在该低速体发生,与主震空间位置非常吻合.主震区的岩石结构主要由奥陶纪变质砂岩、石英岩和加里东期的花岗岩等坚硬岩体组成.这种坚硬岩体对应的P波速度结构为高速体,有利于能量积累.武威盆地在20 km以上深度表现为明显的低速异常,在25 km深度之下,整体显示为高速体,表现出稳定块体的特征.表明武威盆地中下地壳和上地幔顶部已插入到冷龙岭隆起带之下.震区小震重新定位发现,皇城—双塔断裂带东、西两段表现出不同的力学运动性质,西段以逆冲运动为主,地震主要发生在断裂的下盘.而东段地震却主要发生在上盘,断层活动以局部拉张为主.我们还首次发现在皇城—双塔断裂带的中段与主破裂呈垂直方向存在有在主震发生时新产生的一条共轭断层,基于小震的断层面参数反演显示该断裂是一高倾角运动性质以右旋为主兼具正断的断裂.     

四川威远及邻区中小地震活动特征及地壳精细结构研究

利用2019年以来在四川荣县—威远布设的密集地震台站,以及部分固定台站记录到的近震资料,采用双差层析成像方法获得了高分辨率的浅层地壳三维速度结构和震源位置.重定位结果显示,研究区内中小地震多数呈南北向条带状分布,与已知地表断层的分布无明显关联.地震震源深度主要集中在2～5 km深度之间.研究区中小地震活动与速度结构变化具有相关性,在5 km以浅,地震多分布在S波高速异常区;在7～10 km深度范围,地震多发生在P波和S波的高、低速异常转换带.综合重定位和速度剖面结果,推测研究区内沉积层厚度约4～6 km,而一些中强地震多发生在结晶基底顶部.在研究区深部,黄桷坡断层以北地震区比荣县地震区具有更高的P波速度,在相似的应力状态下,力学性质更强的黄桷坡断层以北地区更难以破裂,可能是该地区更晚发生地震的缘由.     

P-wave velocity structure beneath reservoirs and surrounding areas in the lower Jinsha River

The lower reaches of the Jinsha River are rich in hydropower resources because of the high mountains, deep valleys, and swift currents in this area. This region also features complex tectonic structures and frequent earthquakes. After the impoundment of the reservoirs, seismic activity increased significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to study the P-wave velocity structure and earthquake locations in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River and surrounds, thus providing seismological support for subsequent earthquake prevention and disaster reduction work in reservoir areas. In this study, we selected the data of 7,670 seismic events recorded by the seismic networks in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Chongqing and the temporary seismic arrays deployed nearby. We then applied the double-difference tomography method to this data, to obtain the P-wave velocity structure and earthquake locations in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River and surrounds. The results showed that the Jinsha River basin has a complex lateral P-wave velocity structure. Seismic events are mainly distributed in the transition zones between high- and low-velocity anomalies, and seismic events are particularly intense in the Xiluodu and Baihetan reservoir areas. Vertical cross-sections through the Xiangjiaba and Xiluodu reservoir areas revealed an apparent high-velocity anomaly at approximately 6 km depth; this high-velocity anomaly plays a role in stress accumulation, with few earthquakes distributed inside the high-velocity body. After the impoundment of the Baihetan reservoir, the number of earthquakes in the reservoir area increased significantly. The seismic events in the reservoir area north of 27° N were related to the enhanced activity of nearby faults after impoundment; the earthquakes in the reservoir area south of 27° N were probably induced by additional loads (or regional stress changes), and the multiple microseismic events may have been caused by rock rupture near the main faults under high pore pressure.     

EARTHQUAKE LOCATION AND VELOCITY STRUCTURE IN YIBIN AREA,SICHUAN

Small earthquakes have been recorded in Yibin area, Sichuan Province since 1970, the frequency and intensity of seismicity have shown an increasing trend in recent ten years, and the earthquakes are distributed mainly in Changning, Gongxian and Junlian areas. Based on the seismic data from January 2008 to May 2015 recorded by Sichuan and Yunnan regional networks and Yibin local network, seismicity analysis, precise location and velocity structure inversion for earthquakes in Yibin area are carried out, the three-dimensional spatial distribution of seismic activity and the velocity structure at different depths in this region are investigated, trying to analyze the seismic activity law and seismogenic mechanism in Yibin area. The earthquake relocation result shows that the spatial cluster distribution of earthquakes is more obvious in Yinbin area, the earthquakes are concentrated in Changning-Gongxian and Gongxian-Junlian regions. The seismic activity presents two dominant directions of NW and NE in Changning-Gongxian region, and shows asymmetric conjugate distribution, the long axes of NW-trending and NE-trending seismic concentration area are about 30km and 12km respectively, and the short axes are about 5km. There is a seismic sparse segment near Gongxian, the frequency and intensity of seismicity in the southeast side are obviously higher than that in the northwest side, and the earthquakes with larger magnitude are relatively deep, the focal depth is gradually shallower with the distance away from Gongxian. Seismic activity is sparse in the west and dense in the east in Gongxian-Junlian region, the predominant direction of earthquakes in the seismic dense area of the eastern segment is NE. Seismic activity extends in opposite direction in the easternmost part of the two earthquake concentrated area. The P-wave velocity structure at different depths in the study area is obtained using joint inversion method of source and velocity structure. In view of the predominant focal depth in this region, this paper mainly analyzes the velocity structure of the upper crust within 10km. Within this study area, the P-wave velocity of earthquake concentration areas is relatively high within 10km of the predominant focal depth, especially in the northwest of Gongxian and eastern Junlian area, the P-wave velocity on the southeast of Gongxian increases gradually with depth, especially at 6km depth. These high-velocity zones are generally related to brittle and hard rocks, where the stress is often concentrated. Comparing earthquake distribution and velocity structure, seismic activity in this area mainly occurs in high-low velocity transition areas, the inhomogeneity of velocity structure may be one of the factors controlling earthquake distribution. The transition zone of high and low velocity anomalies is not only the place where stress concentrates, but also the place where the medium is relatively fragile, such environment has the medium condition of accumulating a large amount of strain energy and is prone to fracture and release stress.

STUDY ON RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEISMIC DISTRIBUTIONOF RUSHAN SEQUENCE AND VELOCITY STRUCTURE

Since the earthquake of M_L3.8 occurring on October 1, 2013 in Ruishan, Weihai City, Shandong Province, the sequence has lasted for about 4 years(Aug. 31, 2017). Seismicity is enhanced or weakened and fluctuated continuously. More than 13250 aftershocks have been recorded in Shandong Seismic Network. During this period, the significant earthquake events were magnitude 4.2(M_L4.7)on January 7, 4.0(M_L4.5)on April 4, M3.6(M_L 4.1)on September 16 in 2014 and M4.6(M_L5.0)on May 22, 2015. The earthquake of M_L5.0 was the largest one in the Rushan sequence so far. In order to strengthen the monitoring of aftershocks, 18 temporary stations were set up near the epicenter at the end of April, 2014(official recording began on May 7)by Shandong Earthquake Agency, which constitutes an intensified network in Rushan that surrounds the four quadrants of the small earthquake concentration area together with 12 fixed stations nearby, and provides an effective data foundation for the refinement of Rushan earthquake sequence. The velocity structure offers important information related to earthquake location and the focal medium, providing an important basis for understanding the background and mechanism of the earthquake. In this paper, double-difference tomography method is used to relocate the seismic events recorded by more than six stations of Rushan array from May 7, 2014 to December 31, 2016, and the inversion on the P-wave velocity structure of the focal area is conducted. The Hyposat positioning method is used to relocate the absolute position. Only the stations with the first wave arrival time less than 0.1 second are involved in the location. A total of 14165 seismic records are obtained, which is much larger than that recorded by Shandong Seismic Network during the same period with 7708 earthquakes and 2048 localizable ones. A total of 1410 earthquakes with M_L ≥ 1.0 were selected to participate in the inversion. Precise relocation of 1376 earthquakes is obtained by using double-difference tomography, in which, there are 14318 absolute traveltime P waves and 63162 relative travel time P waves. The epicenters are located in distribution along NWW-SEE toward SEE and tend to WS, forming a seismic belt with the length about 3km and width about 1km. The focal depths are mainly concentrated between 4km and 9km, occurring mainly at the edge of the high velocity body, and gradually dispersing with time. It has obvious temporal and spatial cluster characteristics. Compared with the precise relocation of Shandong network, the accuracy of the positioning of Rushan array is higher. The main reason is that the epicenter of Rushan earthquake swarm is near the seaside, and the fixed stations of Shandong Seismic Network are located on the one side of the epicenter. The nearest three stations(RSH, HAY, WED)from the epicenter are Rushan station with epicentral distance about 13km, the Haiyang station with epicentral distance about 33km, and Wendeng station with epicentral distance about 42km. The epicentral distance of the rest stations are more than 75km. In addition, the magnitude of most earthquakes in Rushan sequence is small. The accuracy of phase identification is relatively limited due to the slightly larger epicentral distance of the station HAY and station WED in Shandong Seismic Network. Furthermore, the one-dimensional velocity model used in network location is simple with only the depth and velocity of Moho surface and Conrad surface. The epicentral distances of the 18 temporary stations in Rushan are less than 10km, and the initial phase is clear. The island station set up on the southeast side and the Haiyangsuo station on the southwest side form a comprehensive package for the epicenter. Compared with the double-difference algorithm method, the double-difference tomography method used in this paper is more accurate for the velocity structure, thus can obtain the optimal relocation result and velocity structure. the velocity structure shows that there are three distinct regions with different velocities in the vicinity of the focal area. The earthquakes mainly occur in the intersection of the three regions and on the side of the high velocity body. With the increase of depth, P wave velocity increases gradually and there are two distinct velocity changes. The aftershock activities basically occur near the dividing line to the high velocity side. The south side is low velocity abnormal body and the north side is high velocity abnormal body. High velocity body becomes shallower from south to north, which coincides with the tectonic conditions of Rushan. Considering the spatial relationships between the epicenter distribution and the high-low velocity body and different lithology of geological structure, and other factors, it is inferred that the location of the epicenter should be the boundary of two different rock bodies, and there may be a hidden fault in the transition zone between high velocity abnormal body and low velocity abnormal body. The interface position of the high-low velocity body, the concentrating area of the aftershocks, is often the stress concentration zone, the medium is relatively weak, and the intensity is low. There is almost no earthquake in the high velocity abnormal body, and the energy accumulated in the high velocity body is released at the peripheral positions. It can be seen that the existence of the high-low velocity body has a certain control effect on the distribution of the aftershocks.     

华北北部地区地壳三维P波速度结构的双差地震层析成像

利用区域固定台站和华北科学探测台阵记录的10 461个近震事件的183 909个Pg波绝对走时和495 753个相对走时数据,采用双差地震层析成像获得华北北部(37.5°～41.5°N,111.5°～119.5°E)范围内的地壳三维P波速度结构模型。结果表明:研究区内各主要构造单元具有明显不同的速度结构特征,速度异常的走向与区域构造的走向一致,浅层速度图像很好地反映了地表地质和岩性的变化;重定位后的大部分地震集中在0～20km的深度上,主要位于低速区的内部或高速和低速区的交界部位;三河—平谷和唐山地震震源区中、下地壳的低速异常可能是流体的显示。结合前人成果和本文模型所揭示的深、浅结构,我们认为太平洋板块在中国东部之下的俯冲和滞留引起板块脱水、软流圈物质上涌等一系列过程,软流圈热物质到达上地幔顶部并沿超壳断裂上侵进入地壳,致使上地幔顶部和下地壳中的含水矿物发生脱水作用产生流体,流体继续上移造成中、上地壳发震层的弱化,从而导致大地震的发生。因此华北北部地区的强震活动,以及地壳结构的非均匀性应是与太平洋板块俯冲、滞留引起的深部过程密切相关的。     

Determination of Focal Depths of the MS5.8 Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia Earthquake Sequence

Using the double-difference earthquake location algorithm, the deterministic method (PTD method) and the CAP seismic moment tensor inversion method, the paper selects the primary waveform data of 78 earthquakes recorded by the "China Earthquake Science Array Probe Project in the Northern Part of North South Seismic Belt", the "China Earthquake Scientific Exploration Array Data Center" of Institute of Geophysics, China Earthquake Administration, and the Inner Mongolia Digital Seismic Network to calculate the focal depths of the mainshock and the seismic sequence of the M_S5.8 Alxa Left Banner earthquake in Inner Mongolia. The results show that the focal depth of the main shock is 20.6km, determined by the double-difference earthquake location method, 18.1km by the PTD method, and 19.2km by the CAP method. The focal depth of the earthquake sequence calculated by the double-difference location method is larger. The deterministic method (PTD method) and double-difference location method are the methods that fit the tectonic characteristics of the seismic source area, and the CAP method is suitable for larger earthquakes.
